Rubric
Introduction = 4/ 5 pts.
5 - Intro provides an overview of the upcoming analysis, including what school/district/community is being analyzed, what aspects are being analyzed, and who the report is intended to inform.
4 - Intro names the school/district/community and previews the scope of the report, but does not describe who the report is intended to inform.
3 - Intro names the school/district/community but not much else.
2 - Intro fails to name the school, district, and community.
0 - No introduction section is apparent.
Constructive comments about report's introduction: This introduction names the district, community and school and gives a good preview of the report and what will be discussed but there is no indication of who the report's audience is supposed to be. This intro gives good information that hooks the reader but the language and grammar need to be cleaned up. There are a few spelling errors and much of the language sounds grammatically wrong, but if they are fixed this will be a very effective introduction
Organization = 4 / 5 pts.
5 - Report includes an Introduction, a Conclusion, and sections for the School, District, and Community. Within each section, paragraphs logically group the information presented.
4 - Report includes all of the sections mentioned previously, but does not break down information into paragraphs within each section.
3 - Report is missing one of the sections.
2 - Report is missing more than one section.
0 - Report does not include any sections.
Strengths and constructive comments about report's organization: This report includes all of the necessary sections and some of them are broken down into multiple paragraphs; but information is not always grouped together logically according to the section. Saying that, the school section should be expanded upon, some important information is included, but it should be longer than one paragraph.
Mechanics = 0/ 5 pts.
5 - All information in the report is cited using APA styled- citations after the information and in a Reference section at the end of the report.
and
There are extremely few typos and misspelled words in the report.
4 - Most information is cited using APA style.
and/or
There are a noticeable number of typos or misspellings.
3 - Some citations in the References section are not in APA style, e.g. URLs are listed without the title of the website.
and/or
There are many typos, misspellings, or other writing errors.
2 - Most of the report's information is not cited, or APA style was not used.
0 - Report does not include a Reference section.
Strengths and constructive comments about report's organization: This report has a decent amount of spelling errors than be easily fixed and language that can also be revised, but there is no reference section and none of the information is cited according to APA format. I make the assumption that this part of the report just has yet to be completed
Conclusion = 3/ 5 pts.
5 - Conclusion reviews analysis of school, district and community and describes why findings should be important to reader.
4 - Conclusion reviews analysis of school, district and community.
3 - Conclusion does not refer back to report findings.
0 - No conclusion section is apparent.
Strengths and constructive comments about conclusion: This conclusion does refer back to the information, but it is so short that one can only assume that it has not been completed because there is very little substance to this conclusion. This conclusion needs to do more to refer back to the report and needs to talk about the importance of the information presented
Creativity = 3 / 5 pts.
5 - Report is written in an engaging style.
4 - Report has some interesting sections.
3 - Report generally reports information without seemingly without purpose.
Strengths and constructive comments about presentation: The lack of real topic sentences impedes this report's ability to be creative. With the addition of a topic sentence the author can work off of that and use it to convey his or her message in the way that he or she chooses.
Thoroughness = 6 /10 pts
10 - Report includes at least ten different facts in each section (school, community, district) and
compares each figure/fact with another relevant figure/fact (e.g. state or national average) and
states whether or not the school is meeting NCLB standards.
concludes each session by summarizing its main points.
8 - Report includes at least eight different facts in each section and
compares most figures/facts with relevant values and
states whether or not the school is meeting NCLB standards.
6 - Report includes at least six different facts in each section and
compares some of the figures to other relevant figures
4 - Report includes at least four different facts in each section and
compares some of the figures to other relevant figures.
0 - Report includes less than four different facts for any section or
fails to compare any figures with other relevant figures.
Strengths and constructive comments about information contained in report: The paragraphs preceding the school section each contain a solid amount of facts, but it seems that all of them only pertain to Perry Middle School. This report needs information on the surrounding community and the other schools in the district in order to be successful and effective as a report
